WASHINGTON: 

GOVERNMENT    PKINTINO  OFFICE. 
1901. 


INTRODUCTION. 


The  only  authority'  in  Enolish  dealing-  exclusivel}"  with  the  Danish 
West  Indies  appears  to  be  C.  E.  Taylor's  "Leaflets  from  the  Danish 
West  Indies:  Descriptive  of  the  social,  political  and  commercial  con- 
dition of  these  islands."  The  author  was  for  many  years  a  resident 
of  St.  Thomas,  and  his  work  has  the  value  of  afl'ording  information 
acquired  at  first  hand.  The  geographic  manuals  like  Reclus's  ''The 
Earth  audits  inhabitants"  and  Stanford's  "Compendiimi  of  geography 
and  travel"  give  good  summar}"  accounts  of  the  history  and  natural 
features  of  the  islands. 

The  negotiations  for  the  purchase  of  the  islands  in  1865-1869  are 
well  set  forth  in  James  Parton's  "The  Danish  islands:  Are  we  bound 
in  honor  to  pay  for  them?"  and  in  briefer  form  in  Curtis's  "The 
United  States  and  Foreign  Powers"  and  Wharton's  "A  Digest  of  the 
international  law  of  the  United  States."  The  proceedings  of  the 
Danish  parliament  are  printed  in  the  "  Rigsdagtidende."  A  pamphlet 
by  Dixon,  "The  St.  Thomas  treaty.  A  series  of  letters  to  the  Boston 
Daily  Advertiser,"  reports  the  proceedings  in  Washington  while  the 
treaty  was  pending,  and  also  contains  the  text  of  the  treaty. 

The  Danish  colonial  fiscal  system  in  the  West  Indies  is  the  subject  of 
an  essay  by  C.  W.  Tooke,  printed  in  "Essa3\s  in  colonial  finance  by 
the  members  of  the  American  Economic  Association." 

The  tabulated  statistics  of  the  commerce  and  commercial  regulations 
of  the  islands  ma}'  be  found  in  the  publications  of  the  Bureau  of  Sta- 
tistics of  the  Treasury  Department  and  the  Foreign  Commerce  Bureau 
of  the  State  Department.  The  publications  of  the  Statens  statistiske 
Bureau  of  Denmark  include  statistical  tables  of  imports  and  exports, 
merchant  marine,  and  navigation.  The  various  reports  from  our  con- 
suls at  St.  Thomas  have  been  noted  in  their  proper  place  in  this  list.

"  Seit  der  Aufheljung  der  Sklaverei  und  dem  Ueberhandnehmen 
der  Damiifschifffahrt  hat  sich  der  Character  der  Insel  vollig 
geiindert.  Die  Zuckerpflanzungen  sind  verschwunden,  der  Boden 
ist  so  gut  wie  unbebaut,  eine  Vermittelung  des  Handels  zwischen 
den  Kiisten  IMittel-  und  des  nordlichen  Siidamerikas  mit  den 
Vereinigten  Staaten  und  Europa  findet  nicht  mehr  statt.  Jetzt 
ist  St.  Thomas  nur  noeh  ein  Knotenpunkt  der  Dampfschifffahrt 
nach  Westindien.  Die  einzige  Ortschaft  ist  Charlotte  Amalie  mit 
stationilrer  Bevolkerung  (ca  12000).  Die  Gezeitenstromungen  sind 
so  unregelmiissig,  dass  eine  richtige  Hafenzeit  nicht  angegeben
